because hassan is acting as his own lawyer this could get interesting. yesterday the judge told major hassan you must ask yourself questions if you class to testify. you are not allowed to make a statement. it must be in a q and a format. if he chooses to do so, that could be awfully bizarre to watch. but taking the stand also opens him up to cross-examination by the prosecution. a lot of military law experts told me they would be surprised if this morning major hassan has chosen to put himself in that position. but this has been a court-martial full of odd behavior of the 42-year-old psychiatrist who asked very few questions of the 90 witnesses called by the government the past few days. if he passes and decides not to call witnesses then we move straight into closing arguments. gregg: who would he call as witnesses? any idea? >> reporter: we heard he had two on the list. one was an expert in radicalization and religion. but we learned he had taken one of his two witnesses off the list, no longer planned on calling them to the stand and asking questions
